My heterosexual lifemate

I have great friends.  I truly do. I never doubt that. Funny thing is, I went through a big gap in time where I was practically friendless.  Moving to Calgary, I had my friend Tammy but as we went our separate ways, I was alone until I found my husband.  My husband Andrew then became my best friend. He fulfilled all my needs. I didn't seek outside friendships, and when I did, no one was like me.  All the mom's at school were older than me, too goody for my nasty personality.  I met a couple of moms named Melissa and Shirley.  They were good friends for awhile.  I could count on them.   Then we moved away from them.  I felt alone, but I had Andrew and the kids.  


My sister same came to stay with us, and she wanted a job.  I helped her get a job and the deal was, that I had to work there too.  So I did.  I joined retail.  I loved it. I could talk all day long. I did what I deem to be my best...customer service.  I was working at Ardene's.  It was OK. But I didn't care for it much. It was the first time in a long time that I cared about what I wore, because I had to look half decent for work.    I then started shopping with my sister and discovered that I loved shopping.  So much so, that I decided if I was going to work, I wanted more benefit from it. So, I applied at Addition Elle. I got a 50% discount off clothes. I was working to get more clothes. I loved it! I could dress up girls all day long.  


That was where I met my heterosexual lifemate, Michelle.  She was my supervisor.  I made other friends there that I am happy I met, like Melissa, Susan, Leanne and Ella. All wonderful, good people.   But with Michelle, there was this kindred spirit.  When we both left Addition Elle, she and the others came over to my house for a dinner party.  We all had fun, drank some of Ella's homemade wine, then one by one, people left.  Michelle decided to sleepover as she was drunk!  Her husband, Matt, was out of town (he's an archaeologist), so better to stay over.  The next day was great.  We hung out all day, she stayed for dinner, and then...slept over again.  Then the next day, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner...and stayed over.  On the fourth day..she finally went home to sleep in her bed.  


Since then, we have been inseparable!  We're always together.  We work together at WestJet.  Last year, we went on vacation together...with our husbands. 


She really wants to go to Vegas this Monday night, but I can't. I must be in Calgary on Tues or Wed to sign bank paperwork.  So she asked if I could bring Vegas to her.


So, this is our plan:


Tuesday (provided I don't have to go to the bank at some point)


Brunch
Light shopping at CrossIron Mills outlet stores
Steak dinner
Grey Eagle Casino for some bingo, Indian style!
Back to my place for some drinks!


I am looking forward to Vegas Tuesday with my bff Michelle!
